Examples of Value Stream MappingLaurie Lake, Student (University), United StatesWe used this in a manufacturing process to identify the many elements used in determining how raw goods are moved through the manufactuing system, identify bottlenecks, and where we needed to make improvements in throughput. Another use was in coordinating new product introductions from marketing through purchasing, quality evaluation, imprinting, to receipts of goods for initial stock inventories during the introduction stages. The applications of this model are widely varied and can be used for a wide variety of processes in business depending on the needs.

Example of Value MappingCarlos E. F. Pimenta, Analyst, BrazilLaurie, thanks for your reply. In fact I researched a lot on the internet some example (model, picture, template, etc.). How to use this tool (value map) to analyze, but could not find anything on the internet. I sent an email to the software company that represents the tool and got no answer. I sent email to Andrew Jack for himself and got no answer. What I would like to see was an example of use ("in action", "in real life), it seemed like an interesting tool. If you have something you can share with me I appreciate it! Thanks! Carlos.
